Vikes' DE Edwards signs, Triplett gets contract

The Vikings announced the signing of the restricted free agent on their website Monday.

Edwards was given a first-round-level tender worth $2.5 million for one year, but he waited three months to sign it. Edwards has expressed frustration about losing unrestricted status in free agency, when the final year of the collective bargaining agreement began without a new deal in place.

The Vikings also signed fifth-round draft pick Nate Triplett, a linebacker from Minnesota.
